DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

The invention is a snap-on system which allows users using different hands to easily change and use a magazine lock according to the desired side. This system makes it very simple to turn the magazine lock in the desired direction and to use it safely. The magazine lock comprises a lock button (1) which further comprises a knurled form that facilitates pressing on and prevents finger from slippage. That button also comprises a lock spring (3) which is guided by a spring pin (4) and works in the desired range. As seen in FIGS. 3 and FIG. 4, the lock button (1) is fixed by the magazine catch lock switch (2) in its place and is guided in the lock housing (5).

The spring (3) and the spring pin (4) contained in the lock button (1) are first assembled to each other as shown in the exploded view in FIG. 2. The magazine catch lock switch (2) is fixed by being passed through the lock button (1), which the spring (3) and the spring pin (4) is mounted on. It is also fixed by fitting the spring pin (4) on the groove of itself, which meets the form of the head part of the spring pin (4). A special groove is made on the lock button (1) so that the magazine catch lock switch (2) can pass smoothly through the lock button (1). In addition, the spring pin (4) provides the magazine catch lock switch (2) to pass without distorting the spring (3). The fully assembled view is given in FIG. 3.

For right-handed use, the lock button (1) is placed in the lock slot (5) so that the groove on it faces the right. By pushing the lock button (1) a little, the magazine catch lock switch (2) is passed from the end of the groove to the lock switch bed and pressed over to be fixed. The system becomes suitable for right hand use.

For left-handed use, the lock button (1) is placed in the lock slot (5) so that the groove on it faces the left. By pushing the lock button (1) a little, the magazine catch lock switch (2) is passed from the end of the groove to the lock switch bed and pressed over to be fixed. The system becomes suitable for left hand use.

When it is necessary to disassemble the magazine lock in order to use it in the desired direction; the magazine catch lock switch (2), which is positioned to be reached through the body when the upper lid of the gun is removed by pressing the lock button (1), is pulled up from the lock switch bed on the magazine lock. The magazine lock is easily removed from the lock housing (5) since it's no longer fixed by the magazine catch lock switch (2).

In order to prevent the magazine lock from getting loose from the magazine catch lock switch (2) in case of a possible fall, there is a groove as shown on the magazine catch lock switch (2) in FIG. 2. The spring (3) and the spring pin (4) sit on that groove. Thus, the magazine catch lock switch (2) is fixed by the spring (3) and the spring pin (4). The magazine catch lock switch (2) is designed as a tie hook to take precautions to get rid of it easily.

In the upper part of the magazine catch lock switch (2), a rectangle discharge is made so that it is less affected by the high accelerations due to the fall, and it can be easily removed with the tools like a screwdriver.
